Microsoft Lumia 535: What has changed

The Lumia 530 was a disappointing successor to the 520, but it seems Microsoft has got its act together, with the Lumia 535. Not only is this smartphone a substantial upgrade from the Lumia 520 and 525, it is also the first Lumia phone to be launched by Microsoft.

Internal Storage

Let's start with the smaller stuff. The Lumia 530 had only 4 GB of internal storage with 128 GB micro-SD support. The 535 on the other hand has 8 GB with the same SD support.

Camera

The Lumia 530 disappointingly didn't have a front camera, while the Lumia 535 has 5 MP cameras on the front and back.

Display

At 5 inches, this device is still quite compact, but it's bigger than the Lumia 530, which had a 4 inch display. In addition, this is an IPS panel compared to the TFT capacitive screen on the 530.
